Upcoming Scientific Computing Lab Outage
We will be taking the entire Scientific Computing Lab offline for a few days. During this outage all of the machines in the lab will be rebuilt with a generic OS install in preparation for replacement. We will then pull the machines out and make them available for scavenging in the hall behind Big Beckman.
With the machines out of the lab, we will have the room cleaned thoroughly, and then we will install the new machines in preparation for the fall, 2009, semester.
The exact dates for this outage have not yet been determined, but early during the week of August 10-14 is the likely target for decommissioning, with the new machines being installed later that week or during the next week.
